Retraction of Molecular Characterization of Binding of Calcium and Carbohydrates by an Early Activation Antigen of Lymphocytes CD69 Jiřı ́ Pavlıč́ ek, Bruno Sopko, Rüdiger Ettrich, Vladimıŕ Kopecký, Jr., Vladimıŕ Baumruk, Petr Man,* ́ Vladimıŕ Havlıč́ ek, Marek Vrbacký, Ludmila Martınková , Vladimıŕ Křen, Miloslav Pospıš́ il, and Karel Bezouška Biochemistry 2003, 42 (31), 9295−9306. DOI: 10.1021/bi027298l The authors retract this article as it was found that experiments describing binding of natural killer cell receptors to carbohydrate ligands could not be repeated. Authors who were reached support the retraction of this paper. Evidence of scientific misconduct on the part of Karel Bezouška has been found by the joint Ethical Committee established by the Institute of Microbiology of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic and the Faculty of Science at the Charles University in Prague. The authors apologize to all affected parties.
